The Amazing Yoga Community of Studios Program
Amazing Yoga was founded back in 2000 with the intention of sharing our love of yoga. Our mission is to make yoga accessible for all students to learn and discover the benefits of this practice. An Amazing Yoga studio is a place where people can feel a strong sense of community.
During the past 11 years Amazing Yoga has grown and thousands of students pass through the doors every week. We have also been hosting many teacher trainings throughout the world and have discovered that there is something really powerful about empowering others. We have heard from many students that they had a desire to share the inspiration of yoga with their own communities, but felt that they were not quite prepared for the undertaking of this process. You may have thought, “this is something that I have dreamed of doing, but I just need that nudge.” Here is that nudge. This is where the help of Amazing Yoga comes in. Through the Amazing Yoga Community of Studios Program we will support you and help you share YOUR love for yoga in your part of the world.
Through the AYCS Program, you will be the 100% owner of your studio. As you know from your experience with us, we are not interested in producing cookie cutter yoga teachers or robots. The Amazing Yoga Power Flow style is one that is based on freedom, creativity, spontaneity, joy, and sharing. Therefore, by joining our community you will not be joining some chain or a franchise. Each AY Community Studio will flourish in their uniqueness which is created by YOU! YOUR studio will establish it’s own vibe and feel based on YOUR local community and YOUR vision and the evolution of your studio.
We all will share a strong commitment to:
High quality teaching
Promoting Healthy Eating
Accessible Yoga - physically and financially
Environmental Awareness
Providing a Friendly Studio Yoga “Vibe”
Community Outreach
Evolution as Teachers
Promoting Peace, Gentleness, and Balance
Yoga is the sharing of love. This mutual love of yoga will be our strongest connection.
Prerequisites to apply to become an AY Community Studio:
Completion of the AY Level 1 and Advanced Teacher Training Programs

Why should you open a studio?
Owning and operating a studio is a lot of work. However, if you love yoga the joy and
happiness that you experience is unmeasurable. Running a yoga studio is an incredible
experience. You will meet countless of beautiful people also looking to make the world
a better place. In yoga our hope is to make our communities stronger, happier, and
healthier.
Initially the work load will certainly be on the high end. It takes a lot of work and patience in the beginning. There will never be a dull moment as the studio will constantly evolve as you and your students do. The studio will always need nurturing and attention like a baby. But watching it grow and evolve is a thing of beauty and very rewarding.
